Cons: Initially I had set up issues using with my Mac...then it wasn't clear how to set up a second, 3rd, 4th "casting devise" (iPhone).
Pros & Cons: When I started off using my Mac I had to figure out it only worked after downloading google Chrome browser (not Firefox or Safari), then downloading an extra google plug in...
After that I encountered duplicate wifi signal issues and it would freeze or delay lag.
So I purchased a wifi transmitter that connects to my in home wifi in which the chromecast pulls a signal from instead of directly from the home wifi unit..and I now only cast from my iPhone apps - no issues since.
The learning curve sucks but after you get the hang of it - you'll enjoy it atleast using your phone as remote control. I've purchased 2 so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can Chromecast mirror my laptop?

Can Chromecast mirror my laptop? For example, when I am having a meeting and need to mirror an Office spreadsheet on the TV....
But not as a standalone standard product...
You'd have to download a beta plugin on your laptop to mirror your screen...
Check out the video on the "after market" or "beta" technology that allow much more below.
